Carers Social Recreation Programme

ARAFMI Illawarra has been fortunate enough to receive funding to facilitate a new Carer Recreation Programme. This is a wonderful opportunity for Carers caring for someone living with a mental illness to get together through Social Connectedness, Coffee, Lunch and / or activities.

The programme is social based giving carers and opportunity to:

Form new friendships. Have some ‘Me” time to care for your own social and emotional wellbeing.

Meet other carers to share stories and experiences as your role as a carer. Be repaid for your invaluable contribution to the community.

Enjoy free or discounted meals and activities.

Funding has been granted through club grants NSW from the following Clubs and we will utilise their restaurants and facilities throughout the Program to thank them for their valuable support: Berkeley Sports and Social Club, Collegians Club Wollongong, Dapto Leagues Club, Illawarra Leagues Club and Woonona Bulli RSL Club.

If you would like to register your interest please email Sarah at arafmi_admin@bigpond.com.
